In 1998 I began the task of building my own "first season" replica of the B9 Robot from Irwin Allen's Lost in Space.
The task - as many other builders know - is a challenge at best. Many thanks to Eugene Boos, all the B9 fans and builders of the "B9 Builders Club" for helping me achieve this goal... there are simply too many to mention.
My goal was, and still is, to create a "1st season replica" that "functions as close to the original as possible. While many builders today use LED lights and current hardware, my B9 uses the same bulbs, sockets, hardware and wiring specifications as the 1965 original prop.

first look at my new cylon costume. the costume is still work in progress but enjoy..this is a fan made costume of the original series battlestar galactica..i am currently making the undersuit...
Ok, here the first video of my near completed Cylon ARMOUR . I did talk originally but had to remove the commentary as it was so windy.
The undersuit is not made yet so I am wearing a pair of jogging bottoms (yes, a chav cylon) and a black coat.
Things still to do are fit the electronics in the lid and secure. Also line the lid and pad it out. In the video its just flopping around on my head. Also need to paint the detail on the side of the lid.
Final adjustment for securing the armour onto my undersuit, after its made...
Add some sticker detail to the armour.(work in progress)
Find a way to secure the chest piece to the shoulder section.
But apart from the lid the armour is pretty much done now.
Things to do still are mod and complete my gloves and make my undersuit....

In this tutorial I show you how to make a Bionic Arm or Mechanical Arm, Robot Arm, etc. This is made from 20 gauge steel, although you can certainly use other materials to build it such as Eva Foam, fiberglass or plastic.
Whether you are new to metalworking, working on your awesome cosplay costume, or an aspiring superhero like Cable, Jax from Mortal Kombat, Bucky Barnes or The Winter Soldier, or Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist this tutorial is exactly what you need.
I keep this process simple and inexpensive. All the tools I use are tools you will likely find in your own garage. Grab your hammers and let's get started! davidjguyton

Video of my friend's progression of his Bumblebee costume for ComiCon '08...
I did not make this costume at all...I just made the video; my friend made the costume. FYI: will be showing up in '09at Bot-Con in Pasadena, ComiCon '09 and possibly DragonCon.

http://www.robots-and-androids.com went out to see the Lost in Space Cast Reunion last month. Here is number two of two videos.
My associate, Tim Lewis and I had the very good fortune of spending the day with the Robot, Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, Mark Goddard, and the very lovely June Lockhart, all who starred in the original TV show Lost in Space. The space thespians, including the Robot, entertained and were there for photo ops with the fans. The Robot, by the way is my very own prop that I constructed with the help of a friend named Tim Sullivan, in 2005. Before this convention, I used to cart it around with LIS actor Bob May (Bob was the uncredited actor inside the "robot costume") when he was alive and attending conventions. God, I still miss that wonderful fellow!
